NOBODY needs to go that fast! I wouldn't be surprised if we see the Japanese gentlemen's argeement on power output capped to a firmer agreement sooner or later. Replys: Or the limit raised. Heck, even the new Maximas are getting close to that limit, as with many other sedans. Cracura, Honduh, etc. nm Matt (93SE) 19:47:15 9/14/2003 (8) What's the gentlemans agreement? To keep US cars slower? wink182 ('92 SE) 00:28:23 9/15/2003 (7) Basically, all cars sold in Japan are said to have a power cap of about 280hp. --> Matt (93SE) 10:18:20 9/15/2003 (3) It was about 280hp. But whenver they put a R34 Skyline on the dyno, it put out 300ish RWHP :) n/m Jeff92se (92se) 12:27:11 9/15/2003 (1) they shoulda filled it with cheapo 87 octane American gas. :) nm Matt (93SE) 12:42:43 9/15/2003 (0) Cool thanks, All I can say is that I'm already jealous of all the 6 year olds...... wink182 ('92 SE) 11:04:13 9/15/2003 (0) Uhh, something to do with... Uncle Pete (89 SE) 02:46:02 9/15/2003 (2) That's when you then modify.... muuuuwahahahahahahahhaha!!!! 3#-) n/m The Max (92 J30 Maxima (turbo project nearing completion)) 10:32:12 9/15/2003 (0) i'm pretty sure the limit was 280hp but i could be wrong nm Alex (90 300z) 09:51:54 9/15/2003 (0)
